Wed. May 28

May 28

Our last full day in Panama and it's time for some rest.  We headed out first thing in the morning to the Gunn's beach house for some ocean time, pool time, and some brats and burgers.  It was great to just relax, have some fun, take a nap, and eat (yes, they have Johnsonville brats in Panama, and Coach Jaderston even found some Mountain Dew!)

That evening we headed back for Crossfire.  The worship was amazing, and several of our players had the opportunity to share with the group.  It was a great way to finish the trip.

Tomorrow we eat breakfast and head to the airport!

Tuesday, May 27

Today started with some fun.  We went out on the Panama Canal and took a tour.  We got to see crocodiles, howler monkeys and cappuccino monkeys.  It was nice to relax and just be together.  After a little shopping we headed to our last clinic with several high schools.  The rain was so loud we couldn't hear, and the water blew through the windows and made it interesting for a while.  Things finally settled down, and Eddie was able to give a clear testimony to what God has done in his life.

That evening we played our last game.  We walked into the gym and to our surprise it turned out to be air-conditioned!  Who knew?  It was a fantastic game against the national 18 and under team!   The game was pretty physical, and Jak ended up with a nice shiner as a souvenir. Brandon Givens and Troy Smith sparked the Warriors and led us to a 103-94 victory.  Again, the sharing and singing after the game was powerful as Cecil shared his testimony and we sang "Eres Todo" for the last time.  After the game Josiah took Braden in for an X-ray since his foot was really turning a nice shade of black and blue.  He does have a fracture near his pinky toe, so to have watched him do clinics, climb a mountain, jump off a rock into a waterfall, and never once slow us down was pretty impressive.

Again God has been so good to us, and we're all looking forward to going to the beach tomorrow and just having some fun together.
